Packers hang on to win preseason opener, 28-26
A 15-yard pass from Webb to TE Jester Weah made it first-and-goal on the 7. Two plays later, TE Jerell Adams hauled in a 6-yard TD pass, but the PAT was wide right. The Texans were within 28-16 with 13:07 left.
Packers WR Teo Redding fumbled the ensuing kickoff and the Texans recovered at the Green Bay 28. Houston went nowhere, though, and had to settle for a 45-yard field goal to make it 28-19.
Williams carried five straight times for 34 yards before QB Manny Wilkins converted on third-and-2 with a 7-yard keeper to make it first down on the Houston 34. A holding penalty halted the drive, though, and Scott punted Houston back to its own 11-yard line.
A wild, fourth-down scramble to the marker by Webb near midfield was wiped out by a blind-side block penalty, and the Texans elected to punt on the replayed fourth down.
Houston got the ball back one last time and drove across midfield before a deep ball to the end zone drew a pass interference penalty on Packers CB Nydair Rouse, putting the ball on the 1-yard line. RB Josh Ferguson ran it into the end zone with 29 seconds left.
Packers LB Brady Sheldon recovered the onside kick.
